Sacramento Boy Lost In Frisco

Sacramento Boy Lost In Frisco.
The Gail of yesterday says: Last night
Antoine Hendricks, young man of about
20 years, entered the city prison in breath
less haste, fiourishing telegram in his
hand. He was met by an officer and
brought through the prison, but retreated
as quickly as he had entered, and did not
wait till he was asked further information
at the Office Of the little boy for whom he
looked in vain.
On Saturday friend of his, Mrs. E.
Preston, in Sacram snto, telegraphed that
she would send her son Freddie down on
Sundays train, but the telegram was ad-
dressed to 500 Filbert street, where Hen
bricks recently lived. He is now residing
at 256 Third street, and paid visit to his
old address late yesterday evening. There
he found the telegram, but no tidings of
the boy, and could not find him up to an
early hour this morning
The little fellow was coming down for
his health, is about IL years of age, dark
complexion, rather tall for his age, and of
delicate appearance. He was never in
San Francisco before, as his parents have
lived in Sacramento for many years.

Needs Looking After.

EDS REoORD-UNIoS l would call the at.
tention Of the authorities to the fact that
the crossings of the haymarket are in great
need OF improvement to make them pass
able during the winter months The Chief
OF Police has ordered all wagons to keep
off the street, and in order to comply with
this regulation during the wet weather,
when the crossings, as they are now, would
be mud hole, it will be necessary to i'm
prove them. An occasional visit of the
pound-master would result in an increase
OF the city's revenues, as there are large
number of cows which are daily pastured on
the market to the grief of the "ranchers"
whose hay they devour without paying
therefor. The hay sales in this city amount
to thousands annually, and a good market
should be provided, as great part of the
money is spent at home. Improve the
market, it will help the boom" along.

WHY WILKINS RESIGNED.

The San Francisco Post of last evening
says: Director wilkins did not resign
without good reason. He might have been
put on trial for his liberty if he had not
done so. Some one went to the trouble of
finding out what he had charged the State
for expenses. His bill for 20 months was
much over 5000. The law provides only
for necessary travelling expenses. His fare
to Folsom &c times would only total $500,
and, as he boarded at the Jail, there was
no hotel bill. Among other items in his
account was buggy hire from San Rafael to
San Quentin every time the Directors met
at San Quentin, Yet il is on record that
when there was meeting he always tele-
phoned to the prison for one of the States
teams, and used it. Ii is extremely
difficult to obtain much informs-
ton about the matter, because
there seems to have been some promise
made to Wilkins that his penitence had
saved him the disgrace of exposure and
prosecution, but it is almost certain that
there is something more behind, and that
it is not unconnected with his sensibility
to money considerations when pardons
were needed. A few weeks ago Wilkins
displayed an unusual amount of money.
He had about one thousand dollars, and
showed it freely, He accounted for his re-

TIE report made some weeks ago in several of our exchanges and copiedin tho CLARION, that the White Mountain Indians had re- gently killed 50 head of cattle for J. Il. Hampson, on his Eagle Creek rance, turns out to have no foun- ;lation in fact. From one of Mir. Hampson's men, who was in Cliff ton this week, we learn that dur ing the recent outbreak the ma rauding Indians killed a few cattle, and only as they wanted them for food. Since the capture of Geron- imo and his band no cattle have been killed, and the White Noun tain Indians have never killed any cattle that the men in charge of the ranch are aware of. Game is fairly plenty ill that section and cattle are reported in excellent condition.

REFRESHMENTS SPRINGER says he intends to secure, if possible, the passage by the pEesent Con gress of his bill to provide an en- abling act for the admission of Dakota, Montana, New Mexico and Washington Territories. He thinks the idea of admitting all at once will prevent opposition on party grounds, as they will be equally divided politically, and as new States will have no voice in the Presidential election in 1888.

 At s o'clock in the evening the Pioneers and their families reas- sembled at the Masonic Hall to participate in the annual ball and banquet. Two hundred and twen- ty-tive were present, including many of the sons and daughters of the Pioneers.

THz following report in regard to copper We clip from the Engi- neering and Mining Journal: This market continues very quiet and strong, with 12 cents quoted for Lake, and 10f cents for Orford and Baltimore casting brands, and IL for Orford refined electrolytic. This is a compara- lively new brand in the market, and is said to be found well adapt ed to many, if not all, the uses for which it has been thought Lake copper alone was suitable.
 The high freight rates from the Lake, to which we alluded last week, will no doubt keep copper there until the price here has ai- vancel to q corresponding degcee.
 The Aaaeoula is now running full. ca the 1st of December, it had three matting-furnace going.
